Hi there I am not sure why but I think maybe Zone alarm is blocking some communications that I need for smooth use of my PC - its possible some of its for my email some web surfing but I am not 100 percent sure anyway basically I am getting intermittent stuttering or freezing of web aplications with zone alarm on. Here is what might be the problem : blocked 192 168 0 1 s and 8 s copy.jpg These alerts seem to come up around the time I have problems - what setting is controlling this? And can I turn it off? They seem to come up allot!

I see this blocking also here. Sounds normal. That pop-up you see is because you have most likely ticked on getting alerts on blocking or your ZA settings are corrupted. Unticking the option should get rid of the pop-up.

Since we are at build 780 I would suggest you remove ZA via windows add/remove programs (XP), Unistall a program (WIN7/WIN8), Run the ZA removal tool (to ensure no leftovers are present on the system), Download the new version from here: Looking for the latest version? and install.

Just keep the default settings to ensure You do not experience the pop-up.

Yer that seems a bit better - though it did come and go before - need to test - yes I chose alerts just to see what was going on. A fresh install might have worked - thanks - ill report back if it comes back...nice of zone alarm to make you have them as home page and tool bar this version :S ...

Another option you can try

Since your reporting stuttering or freezing of web applications with zone alarm on.

Try turning off the Web Scan option.

Open ZA
Click on Computer
In the Antivirus section click on Settings
Click Advanced Settings button
Click on Web Scan
Uncheck the box 'Enable Web Scanning'
Click OK
Close ZA
Manually reboot your PC and see if you still have issues or not.
